Eating Healthy on a College Budget

A college budget shouldn't stand in the way of you and nutritious/consistent eating habits. Here are some tips for extending your budget, improving your eating habits, and enjoying your eating experience:

• Start by creating a monthly food budget. Create separate budgets for take-out and home-prepared meals. Tip: If you're not sure where to start, review your previous month's spending as a starting point.
• Find easy recipes (of foods you like!) with common ingredients to make during the week.
• Buy low-cost proteins like eggs, tuna, chickpeas, and lentils.
• If you can, buy food in bulk and share costs with roommates.
• Try no-cook recipes or make your own protein boxes.
• If your produce often expires before you use it, try buying frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones.
• Try the UHS nutrition team's $50/week menu for omnivores and/or menu for vegetarians.
• Take a free cooking class to help build your skills or the NST 20 course.
• Reach out to our nutritionists for a free 15-minute consultation so they can help you!

Resources:

• Cal Fresh - a nutrition program that helps you buy healthy foods. Cal Grant or Work-Study required. Students with meal plans are not eligible.
• Food Assistance Program - a need-based funding program provided to students ineligible for CalFresh.
• UC Berkeley Food Pantry - a food resource for students short on money and/or access to nutritious foods.
• Bears for Financial Success - a great resource for students if you have never made a personal spending plan or would like assistance managing your current budget.
